For a graphics card I have a nVidia GeForce GTX 660Ti. It's not hot shit new by any means but it normally does well for what I need it to. For my operating system I run Fedora 22 Linux with the Gnome 3 desktop (version 3.16.2 actually). So far nothing special, lots of people use nVidia graphic cards and lots of people use Fedora Linux. But for me this combo is downright embarrassing.

For the record I'll say games run great, emulators run great, videos play great, just about everything is great... except for the what seems to be trivial task of window movement. Window movement on my system is a gosh darned disgrace. Be it a small Gnome Terminal window or a big Google Chrome window the movement is horribly choppy. It is so choppy it makes my system as a whole look like a total slug, not the kind of thing you want to show off to your friends. This makes me so very sad. Sans video card I upgraded my entire system in March 2015. I would like to think a new system wouldn't have …

I recently stopped using the xpad kernel module in favor of the userspace xboxdrv driver for my gamepads under Fedora 22. Once switching the only issue at hand was starting xboxdev via the service command and starting it at boot time (so I didnt have to start it via the service command). A little Google-Fu (of stuff I should already know) resulted in the easy commands to get what I wanted.

To start xboxdrv via the service command (in case you don't want xboxdrv starting at boot time) type the following into a terminal

sudo service xboxdrv start
To start xboxdrv at boot time use the command

sudo systemctl enable xboxdrv.service
and that's all I did. It seems to work fine for my needs.

Hot and steamy! Straight from the Install-Instructions in the OBS WIKI. I guess it looks like no more compiling from source is needed (unless you just want to, of course). Fedora 22 installation
FFmpeg is required. If you do not have the FFmpeg installed (if you're not sure, then you probably don't have it), you can get it from the rpmfusion repos with the following commands: sudo rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-22.noarch.rpm
Then you can install OBS with the following commands (This pulls all dependencies, including ffmpeg): sudo sudo rpm --import http://repo.tech-3.net/Fedora/TECH3-GPG-KEY.public
sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/tech-3.repo http://repo.tech-3.net/Fedora/tech-3.repo
sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install obs-studio
